- ALL ABOUT HUE:
It was only recently that Hue was made a city considering the substantial contribution it makes to the country's cultural and economic development. Hue City today is a driving force in Central Vietnam's development and serves as a gateway, linking the country?s provinces and cities in the north and south as well as those in the country's East West Economic Corridor. Hue City has an International Airport as well as a seaport.
Hue, an ancient royal city replete in history and ancient culture, has two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, historical Monuments and the Royal Court Music. Visitors will discover many more cultural and historical attractions which make Hue a must-visit, must-see destination.
Hue is a quiet, relaxing city, big enough to be interesting but small enough to bicycle around. The food is great, claimed to be the best in Vietnam. Hue combines the charm of history, culture, and environment. It's a university town and the centre of the arts in Central Vietnam, a hidden jewel, only to be discovered.
